Join me this Friday at 9PM as Gary Dauphin and I discuss the potential negative impact of recent net neutrality rulings on the vibrant web of Haitian online media from blogs to radio. See the story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=312794429. The main concern is that a proposed FCC rule will give media giants priority "pay to play" faster speed access to users.
